Wow, had I seen this webpage before last year I would have never had my Mirena put in.... that was April 2007. Since then: 1. I have had constant extreme fatigue, sometimes to the point I feel I am in actual 'pain' just to walk from one end of the house to the other. 2. I have noted a serious increase in gray hair all of a sudden, which does not run in my family on either side. 3. I have had a significant weight gain, and I too appear to be several months along due to the bloating. 4. I have inconsistent rashing that flares up on my face. Seems to be triggered by being in direct sunlight, but it is almost always on my chin area and feels as if my skin is on fire when it happens. 5. I cannot seem to get enough sleep. 6. I cry for absolutely no reason, something of which I never did before. 7. I have had, the past few weeks, had severe pain in my lower back area. I've never had pain like this before down there. 8. I've had numbness in my left foot, but I attributed it to a skating injury, something my trainer said had never happened to any of the other girls before... doctor said it should have healed in a month. It didn't. 9. I have never in my life had acne before, and I think in the past year I've had more zits than I've had my entire lifetime. That's it for me that I can think of. I have an appointment to have it removed in a few months. I'm done with this thing.

OMG I have had EXACTLY all your side effects, except for the acne!!!
Especially this one is what I find AMAZING:
"4. I have inconsistent rashing that flares up on my face. Seems to be triggered by being in direct sunlight, but it is almost always on my chin area and feels as if my skin is on fire when it happens. "
That's EXACTLY what I had from it, and it ALWAYS started on my chin! The skin on my head would start itching enormously, and my legs too! My GP didn't know what it was of course, and said it was probably an allergy or something. It was triggered by sunlight OR by sporting/doing the housekeeping. I took photo's because it looked awful, and usually went away after an half an hour to an hour or so, and I would have no proof for my doctor otherwise...
Anyway, this thing is like poison.... I'm glad you're done with this thing and are getting it out!
I haven't had these severe rashes anymore since the thing came out five months ago.
Take care and feel free to email me! I'll send you my email address by private mail ;)
